Archetypes of High School
An archetype is a very complicated thing. Actually, its "prolly" not
the right word to use but its like something used to classify something
else. Not to be confused with a stereotype, mind you. Prolly is alot easier
to type than probably, but I'm not one to give in to typing shortcuts.
The most vulgar one is "wut". What is not a hard word to type. I can understand
"probably", some poeple dont even know how to spell it. But that is not
the subject of this piece.
1. The Girl With Many Bracelets
This is the girl that...well...has many bracelets. They tend to be
fair skinned, and also wear all other types of plastic jewelry. Most of
them have long hair that they put up with plastic glittery accesories.
Their diet usually consists of lollypops and bubble gum. They like sugary
drinks, such as surge. Despite all of that, they're quite skinny and usually
don't travel in groups.
2. The Smart Chinese Person
This person can be a guy or a girl, but they must be asian. No asian
people are dumb. They don't have TMH programs in Japan y'know. This is
not to be confused with the Question Answerer, who has no real intelligence
but reads the chapter beforehand just to be an apple in their teachers
eye. The smart chinese person will be at the head of the class, and ALWAYS
have their work done before you atleast. Not different from everyone else
huh?
3. The Classy Dresser
This is usually a guy who has metallic rimmed glasses. He's not as
smart as the smart chinese person, but he would like you to think so. He
always wears a patterned tie, shirt tails tucked in, and he has a briefcase
instead of a backpack unlike the rest of you slimeballs. He is probably
in Latin Club, but you won't see this guy gettin' down in the mud playing
football with the rest of the male population. He just combed and gelled
his hair.
4. The Groomer
This is a girl who is noticed a long time before she comes into a room.
How, you ask? It's her stench. A walking advertisement for cheap perfume,
this girl will wake up your senses. When she does arrive, she will sit
down and take out the beauty supplies. I reommend not sitting behind her
because there is a danger of loose hair coming your way. And don't be surprised
if she takes out the wax and tells you that you have too much excess hair
on your legs.
5. The Player
This guy isn't gay, but has no friends that are guys. He'll go around
telling all unsuspecting girls that he likes them, and they will all fall
into his grasp. Except the smart ones who tell him to his face, "No, I
don't like your orange shirt. No, I don't like your watch, and NO I don't
like your haircut." (hehe that was me by the way) Anyway....alotta girls
will believe he really does like them, and then all of them will start
beating eachother up over him. It will be a bloody mess. This isn't one
of those jocky lookin guys that everybody likes, hes a normal guy who's
good with words.
6. The Puffy Haired Dude
This is anyone who puts a grooming implement in their hair. And leaves
it there. Baggy clothes, lots of jewelry, (bling-bling) the works.
These people do travel in groups. They drum on desks, and don't take notes
with purple gel pens. They are tough guys, and they will beat you down.
I guess you could say they're representin' the flava.
7. The 4th Grader
This is most likely a guy, because everyone knows girls mature faster
than boys do. Anyway, you'll see this one in the gym playing basketball
with the normal people. He's only about 4 feet tall, and his voice is as
high pitched as anything. He doesn't seem to mind being so short. But I
dunno how they're gonna make a gown small enough for him at graduation.
8. The Beautiful Upperclassman
Hehe..this is a funny one. You could just imagine this guy frolicing
in a meadow with sparkles surrounding his being..and girls of course. He's
very pretty, and he knows it. Probably everyone knows his locker number,
his shoe size, and his bowling average. Who's he going to homecoming with?
Probably some girl with "ie" at the end of her name. And really, don't
try to talk to him, he's too good for you.
9. The Man Hater (Graciously submitted by GGD Girl)
This girl is one of those ones with a short haircut. She is always
wearing a baby-tee that has a frightening message on it such as "I Lie
To Boys" or "I Make Boys Cry." She is always listening to/singing the latest
hit by Pink, who is her role model. If a male teenager does so much as
to even look at her, he will end up with a black eye. No, this is not an
exaggeration.
This is all for now, if you have any/want me to include any ya know
where to find me.
